Nut upsdev - Oct 2011 - 1) A memory leak in drivers/rhino.c 2) Wunused-but-set-variable.patch

I would like to have your comments regarding:

    1) drivers/rhino.c
    ------------------
  The following patch addresses some problems in drivers/rhino.c.  Or
  that is what I think.  I don't use this hardware.  The patch:
  1. Eliminates some usefulness definitions.
  2. It removes code that evaluate the time.  I can't see how the code
     actually does useful work.
  3. The evaluation time code allocates memory.  I don't see how that
     memory is freed.

    2) nut-upsdev/2011-October/005608.html
    --------------------------------------
  The patch from above might not apply cleanly.  The reason is that I
  first applied the patch from nut-upsdev/2011-October/005608.html.
  That patch deals with another issue I see in the rhino.c driver, as
  well as other files.  According to the changelog, the part of it
  concerns drivers/bestfcom.c was applied on 2011-07-13 to [r3132].  Yet
  it concerns more files.  Although it were not applied to the other
  files, no one express any opinion why it should not get applied.
